Prologue

Neolithic artifacts show that the site of Corinth had been occupied as early as the fifth millennium BC.  According to Hellenic myth, the city was founded by Corinthos, a descendant of the god Helios (the Sun), while other myths suggest that it was founded by the goddess Ephyra, a daughter of the titan Oceanus, thus the ancient name of the city

is also Ephyra. There is evidence that the city was destroyed around 2000 BC.

Text

1.

Helios, the sun, passing through a prism
splits into a full-spectrum of colors-
Warmth
Corinth

2.
All colors passing back through that prism
converge to full-spectrum white light-
Wayward
Greensward

3.
That which can not be perceived
vibrates and is grieved-
Waters
Daughter

4.
Oceanus rolled over Corinthos and Ephyra
when earth erupted from its center-
Wet
Net

5.
The earth defended itself with sound
with barbed shapes all around-
Whistle
Thistle

6.

Oh, poor that over-reaching soul
 Icarus's pay dear for each goal-
Wonder
Thunder

7.
Something stops the star scape
from striking the limits of space-
Night
Flight

8.
Lightning of sight,
you swallowed the night-
Wend
Tend

9.
Where once they roamed free
the road collapsed abruptly-
Teary

Weary

10.
All colors reside in you,
all bright wisdom too-
Wind

Thinned

Epilogue
Turning from the pathos of existence
they became Titans, Gods, Goddesses,
islands rising from the cooling mist,
and the memory of this.
